Low-Calorie Whipped Iced Latte

Skip the $6 Starbucks latte! This rich, frothy iced coffee tastes like a coffeehouse treat for just pennies a serving. This has become my latest obsession! It tastes incredibly rich and decadent, but it's surprisingly low in calories. Depending on how much milk you add, it can be almost zero calories. I use decaf instant coffee so I can enjoy it as a cozy evening treat without worrying about caffeine.

One tip: make sure you use a jar that's tall (so it doesn't splatter) and wide enough for your hand mixer to fit inside and deep enough for the beaters to be fully submerged in the coffee. Don't ask me how I learned that one! 😂

You could also stop at step #3 and use it to top your hot coffee.

Ingredients

• 1–2 tablespoons instant coffee (or to taste)
• Enough water to just cover the coffee
• Stevia or your favorite sweetener, to taste (optional)
• Ice
• Milk, almond milk, or your favorite milk alternative
• Optional: Cinnamon or other favorite flavorings

Instructions

1. Add the instant coffee to a wide-mouth jar and pour in just enough water to cover it.
2. Using a hand mixer, whip the coffee until it's light, thick, and frothy.
3. Stir in sweetener, if desired.
4. Fill the jar with ice.
5. Pour in your milk of choice until you reach your desired strength.
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon or any other favorite flavoring, if desired.

Enjoy immediately!
